Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.0/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

Tom Waits and The Velvet Underground on Top -
I´m your fan.
I hope you`ll go on to 100.
Maybe you have some suggestions for my "Tom Club" chart.
